Early Access Release Date

Just announced that we're releasing the Early Access version of SoD on Steam...tomorrow.

Please note that it is indeed an Early Access version. It has bugs, and we are going to be developing the keyboard interface from scratch with your feedback... which means the first pass will be rough (and during tomorrow's launch, it will not have the keyboard interface AT ALL). Please DO NOT play it if you are not okay with all of this. I want you all to be happy.

If you do play it and have feedback, I will be opening the feedback forum tomorrow. Not today, though - we gamers have a tendency to give feedback on things we have not actually tried, and I have to guard against that where I can

"Right this minute, the Early Access version requires an Xbox 360 controller."

Does this literally mean ONLY an XBOX 360 controller?

I use a Logitech Gamepad F310, same button layout. Will this NOT work? Not going to go out and buy an XBOX 360 controller when I already have a controller that functions in every other game where a gamepad is necessary.

I had been checking the Steam shop for 'coming to Steam soon' or however it's called in the English version (I'm German) but nothing showed up ... is there a difference between early access and regular games in the shop?

It just means I don't know. We're only testing on the Xbox controller. If it works with anything else, I will be delighted, but I cannot promise anything but the 360 doodad.
